helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.
41:15. I have made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw:
thou shalt thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt
make the hills as chaff.
41:16. Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the
whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the
Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.
41:17. The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their
tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God
of Israel will not forsake them.
41:18. I will open rivers in the high hills, and fountains in the midst
of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the
impassable land into streams of waters.
41:19. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the
myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the
elm, and the box tree together:
The thorn... In Hebrew, the shitta, or setim, a tree resembling the
white thorn.

that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel
hath created it.

any thing to allege, saith the King of Jacob.

the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them
and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are
to come.
41:23. Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know
that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak,
and see together.
41:24. Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no
being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.
41:25. I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the
rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes
to be as dirt, and as the potter treading clay.
41:26. Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from
time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth,
nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth your words.
41:27. The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to
Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.
41:28. And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or
who, when I asked, could answer a word.
41:29. Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their
idols are wind and vanity.
Isaias Chapter 42
The office of Christ. The preaching of the gospel to the Gentiles. The
blindness and reprobation of the Jews.
42:1. Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth
in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment
to the Gentiles.
My servant... Christ, who according to his humanity, is the servant of
God.
42:2. He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his
voice be heard abroad.
42:3. The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not
quench, he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
